I recently made myself a new account (Yes, i know... Sec acc noob I am) because i had the wish to play a "pure" this time. No gold, no prem tanks, no premium account, and because a RL friend of mine needed a guy to get him this T95E2 he craves for. Two flies, one strike.

Anyhow, I started to play and had XVM of course on. What i saw is nothing short of sad:

The amount of people with >5k games in tier 1 and 2 is gigantic! You are being taken apart by a person who is, skillwise, very far behind you. These people can put in equipment and consumables that are worth more then what many newbies have ever received credits in total in their short WoT carreer.

Do not get me wrong, I am not crying for myself. I left tier 1 and 2, as well as tier 3 behind me as fast as i could.

What my notion is: Please deactivate the possibility to put in equipment and premium consumables along with premium ammunition in tier and 2 tanks! I can only imagine the possible frustration of the newcomers when they realize they are nothing but hunting game for the experienced players, putting in binos, camo nets, rammers , vents and goldammo in their T1 Cunningham.

I do understand if you are a weekend player, or just commonly lowskilled but that is no reason to go out and hunt the little ones. Sniping a medieval archer with a 50cal Barret would also be considered unsportsman-like.

I might attract a lot of hate with this, but please wargaming: Protect the newbies from the noobies, deactivate the slots for equipment in tier 1 and make AP and HE the only fireable rounds!

Giving them equal ground will make them later lack the ability to determine when it is better to wait and strike in an opportune moment, which starts to become important at tiers 3 and 4 vs. tier5+ opponents.
